Warning: Videos contain graphic violence and language
The epic daiquiri throwdown Friday night at a bar in the Queens racino began with a staredown between two girls on a very long line for drinks.
The 10:40 p.m. confrontation at the opening of Fat Tuesdays daiquiri bar in Resorts World Casino soon turned into a full-on brawl that involved two dozen combatants throwing punches and chairs, and left one cop and four security guards injured.
“Two girls started this whole thing,” said a casino worker who witnessed the bloodbath unfold. “They came in with their groups. Before you know it, they started looking at each other, they started bumping into each other and then all hell let loose.”
The violence was sparked by people steamed over the long wait for daiquiris, law-enforcement sources said.

Three men were arrested. Andrew Rivers, 23, of Brooklyn, was charged with disorderly conduct, Jovan Bovell, 23, faced the same charge along with resisting arrest, police said. Marcus Stewart, 30, was issued two summonses for disorderly conduct and released.
The chaotic scene spilled outside the casino’s food court and into the parking lot, and caused thousands in damage, sources said.
A police officer suffered a hand injury trying to break up the scuffle, and four guards suffered minor injuries, sources said.
Video posted online showed crazed patrons throwing chairs, shouting, with yelling and the sound of glass breaking heard in the background.
Cops also said a gun-toting hooligan fired off two rounds in the parking lot after the chaos spilled outside.
No one was struck.
The suspected shooter, still at large early Sunday, was identified by cops as 22-year-old Jaquan Roberts.
“I don’t like to come at nights because too many rough necks come here,” said an older woman on Saturday who visits the casino regularly.
A spokesman for Resorts World said security had been beefed up and it was in talks with the NYPD about increasing patrols following the brawl. Police do not patrol inside the venue.
“Entertainment venues across the city and country have faced issues like this in the past, but an incident like this is isolated at Resorts World,” said a spokesman.
“They done tore up the #FatTuesdaysNYC on the first night! Can’t have nothing,” tweeted one irritated partygoer.
“Once y’all saw that dude in the 8 Ball jacket y’all should have known things about to go up,” tweeted another.
Another upset patron tweeted, “People always ask why we never get anything. Next time ask yourselves, “Why every time we get something, we destroy it.’’
